The Hitch’s Witch had a little trouble this year. A new pole was erected by the old one in front of the Hitch home on Orange Blossom and the witch completely lost her bearings and SMACKED into the old pole. Guess it is almost Halloween!

At the Knights Ferry School board meeting, Kym Cassaretto was sworn in as the new board member. The Board will hold a study session on October 27th. The API score of 851 was announced. An increase in the petty cash fund was voted on because with the price of gasoline sometimes Lynn Duckworth has to wait for funds to be transferred in to mow the lawns. The school band members are selling cookie dough for instrument repairs etc. The Kindergarten class went to the Community Garden and the Firehouse and Mrs. Holcomb reported all had a good time. Pat Johnson reported the Third and Fourth Graders went to Yosemite and it was the first time for many students. They learned about the Indian culture and geology of the area. Tasha Sweet showed the T-shirt design done by Rilyn Cassaretto for the Jog-A-Thon. It was a running bobcat, the school mascot.
